About this wine

This Geneva Merlot from Domaine de Beauvent shows what happens when traditional oak aging meets Swiss precision. It's a wine that brings elegance to your table without making a fuss about it.

The nose opens with blackcurrant and dark fruits like morello cherry and plum, while the oak adds subtle spice notes. On the palate, you'll find blackberry and gingerbread flavors supported by firm, well-balanced tannins. The wine is round and full-bodied with a deep garnet color that hints at its intensity.

Serve this at 16-18°C alongside roasted duck breast, grilled lamb chops, or a classic Swiss entrecôte café de Paris. The tannins can handle rich meat dishes beautifully, and if you're feeling adventurous, try it with a mushroom risotto. Decant for at least an hour before serving to let it open up properly.
